WRAPPING IS COMPLETE...FRAMING STARTS MONDAY

We visited the property on Friday (06/17/2011) and Saturday (06/18/2011).  We received the lumber on Wednesday, (06/15/2011) and the PM stated that they will finish backfill on Monday and will begin the framing process Monday afternoon.  That is about a day and half ahead of schedule. 

The following are a few pictures of the wrapping...

Lumber pile #1 and #2 (behind #1)

Lumber pile #3
and 2 shower stalls, shower flooring, and
a whirlpool tub (?WHAT?)
we shouldn't have a tub, we replaced it with our custom claw foot tub --
we plan to follow-up to make sure there is no confusion.

egress windows
Not sure why there is more than 1 window
Hmmmm....interesting.

Your daughter is adorable...I pity your husband when the boys come knocking on the door. Been thru that with my 2 girls...I didn't used to have any grey hair...can't say that any more!!!

Your basement looks HUGE!!! I feel like we are getting a sneak peak of ours watching your house go up. Please keep us posted on your Home Inspection issue...

@BD - Thanks for the kind words. Our daughter keeps us young. We are so happy she is part of this process; however, it is a shame she won't remember it. We take lots of pictures; so we will be able to show them to her when she gets older.
